What would you look for if you were buying a trailer?

I've got a 19' bow rider with a 3 liter MerCruiser sterndrive that I
bought new in 1998; it's the last boat I'll own until I win the
lottery and buy a flotilla of assorted boats.

Rather than replace everything on the original galvanized Escort
trailer that's been showing its age for more than a year, I'm thinking
of a new trailer.

I've pretty much decided on a galvanized trailer (bunks, not rollers)
with disc brakes, brake flush kit, LEDs for lighting, spare tire
holder with spare tire, Super Lube or Turbo Lube bearings, fenders and
swiveling tongue jack.

I don't have a need for guides and I may add bunk slicks/glide ons to
the bunks.

I boat mostly in salt water, a couple of times a week.

So, what did I forget, what would you add?

Aluminum instead of galvanized, stainless disc brakes, and torsion bar
instead of springs.

Wonder how much your version would cost compared to a standard
galvanized, bunk type with leaf springs?
I was quoted about $3000.00CDN with the ss disc brakes for gal steel,
